DM648 EVM Board Support Lib (BSL)

Nanyang
Prodigy 160 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I bought DM648EVM as a reference to develop a board based on DM648, assuming that the EVM kit would come with the Board Support Library (BSL) in source code as some TI EVMs.

However, when the EVM arrived, I realized that the EVM does not comes with the BSL. I would like to check with the technical community if anyone have the answer or to confirm if the BSL does not come with the EVM.

I could not get a response on this from TI distributor or TI. I am stuck.

 

Regards, Nanyang.

    It is my understanding that BSL included source code for drivers to access peripherals and some sample applications.  This is still available in DM648 DVDP as you can see from the following link

    http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdxdvp648.html

    we may not call it BSL anymore, but we will still provide you with basic software to get you started.

    The BSL does not exist exactly as it did with older boards such as the DM642 EVM or the C6416 DSK. Instead, most of the on-board hardware is controlled with drivers as part of the PSP package (which comes in the DVSDK). If you have purchased the DVDP you can register it at the link below and then go download the latest version of the software.

    I believe there is also some Board Support Package software as a part of the DVDP which includes board documentation, GEL file, etc. If you are having trouble locating anything specific let us know and we should be able to point you to it.

    DM648 Board DO have BSL, but only have binary code and do not have source code.

    In the DM648 EVM board, there are several CDs, one is provided by Lytech( Who fabricate this board, TI 3rd party). And also have DVSDK CDs.

    After install the Lytech CD, will come out one directory:  C:\CCStudio_v3.3\boards\dm648, inside it, have the BSL library, same as the previous Spectrum Digital Board. But the problem is that it does not provide the source code and only has the binary code.

    I cannot understand why in EVM board has the binary BSL in CD, but do not have source code.

     

    Can anyone help to provide the BSL source code?

    The object code, I believe, is meant to be used as a "test bench" and not in application code as there are drivers in the PSP to control peripheral access. This is why I stated that the BSL is not as it was in past EVMs.

    I am not sure if Lyrtech passes out the source for the library, but they'd be the ones to ask as it is their software.

    Hello...

    Do you have any idea about how can  I get the BSL libraries for DM642 EVM ?

    Thank you a lot.

    The BSL for DM642 can be found on Spectrum Digital's web site here. Though since your title mentions DM648, if you are looking for the DM648 BSL than I believe it should come on a CD with your board, beyond that you will likely have to contact Lyrtech for assistance since I do not think it is publicly posted.

    Please refer to the other thread where you asked for the DM648 EVM TRM: http://community.ti.com/forums/p/3266/12174.aspx#12174

    The DM648 does not include embedded USB.

    The Lyrtech kits install their software to C:\Lyrtech\ by default whereas Spectrum Digital adds theirs to the \boards directory.

    Hello.

    I have board with DM648 (not EVDM648). Recently I've launched it with DSP/BIOS. Now I'm trying to launch Ethernet interface. For this goal I've installed NDK2.0.0(for examples) and NDK 2.20.6.35.

    I have imported client example for EVMDM648. Then I add Path Variable to NDK2.0.0. And all links was successfull except one - BSL.lib.

    Where I can get it ? There isn't any information about BSL.lib for DM648 on the http://c6000.spectrumdigital.com/ web site. Also I can't find solutions this problem in the documentations.
    Regards.
